We experimentally study the emergence of correlations between ultracold fermionic atoms in a two dimensional optical lattice. For strong interactions and low temperatures from a comparison of local density fluctuations and thermodynamic quantities we observe the suppression of non-local density correlations indicating the localization of atoms in the Mott insulator. In the spin sector we observe the emergence of anti-ferromagnetic spin correlations and determine the uniform magnetic susceptibility of the two-dimensional Hubbard model from simultaneous in-situ absorption imaging of both spin components. At half filling and strong interactions our data can be described by the Heisenberg model of localized spins with anti-ferromagnetic correlations. Moreover, utilizing control over the trap shape we are able to engineer the entropy distribution within the system.
